5.0 out of 5 stars The sickest tank ever!!!!, February 23, 2010

I bought this set because I wanted the figures and tank for my clone army. This set comes with one clone commander figure that has a normal printed head, torso, and helmet. The only thing different about the clone commander is he is equipped with gray commander gear and pistols. This set also comes with one normal clone trooper figure that has a normal printed head, torso, and helmet. He is equipped with a short blaster. The tank itself is a very complex build (it took me more then an hour to assemble) and when finished it looks very big and it has a lot of features. The tank has two storage compartments (one on each side of the tank) for the clone's gear and weapons. The tank also has two flip-out flick-missile launchers (one on each side of the tank) that are equipped with three flick-missiles each. The tank is equipped with two primary blaster cannons (one on each side of the tank) that can swivel up and down. The tank is also equipped with an anti-infantry turret that can swivel up and down, and side to side. The turret has a gunner seat that can pop up into position by opening the back hatch. The tank has a cockpit that has a seat for the driver with controls. The tank also has hidden wheels giving it the hovering look. The tank also has a hood that opens to reveal a small engine. Well, here are the basics of the set:

The good things

Over all, I highly recommend this set.

Great set - available from lego.com for 49.99 - I'm a big fan of amazon, but sometimes you can get a better price somewhere else! Get the set directly from Lego, and you'll save enough to purchase another favorite set! Happy hunting!

This is absolutely great! So many hidden features and moving parts for the size! I don't own it (yet) but I've seen it in person and I know that this is a must have. Mabey three clones would have been good but who cares, there will be $10 clone packs with four clones each next year. Again, this is a very sturdy set and I highly recommend it as an army builder.
